How much can you earn delivering parcels in Ghana?

7/30/2026 · Earn · 5 min read

Every trip you make with an empty boot is income you're leaving behind. If you drive Accra–Kumasi for work, run a trotro on a fixed route, or take the truck up to Tamale, African Post GH lets you fill that space with parcels and get paid. So what's it actually worth?

It comes down to three things

  • Your route's distance — a long run like Accra → Tamale pays more per parcel than a short coastal hop.
  • How much you can carry — a taxi might take one or two parcels; a bus or truck can take many on the same trip.
  • Your rating — verified, well-reviewed carriers win more jobs and can charge a little more.

A realistic picture

You set your own price and only take the jobs you want, so earnings scale with how many trips you make and how much space you fill. A bus operator taking several parcels on a route they already run every day is stacking small payments into a real weekly top-up — with almost no extra fuel cost, since you were making the trip anyway. That's the whole point: it's not a new job, it's money on a journey you're already doing.

How to start earning

  1. Become a transporter in Ghana and pick taxi, bus or truck.
  2. Make offers on parcels from the delivery board, or post your planned trips so senders request you.
  3. Deliver, confirm with the code, get paid directly, and collect a rating that wins you the next job.

It's free to join, and no commission is taken on your deliveries at launch — what you agree is what you keep.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special vehicle to earn?
No. Taxi, private car, trotro, bus or truck — if you're driving between towns with spare space, you can carry parcels.
How and when do I get paid?
The sender pays you directly, usually by MoMo, once the delivery is arranged. African Post doesn't take a cut of your earnings at launch.
